I'm in LOVE with Dosa!. I was on a pre-graduation trip with some classmates in gorgeous SF when we came upon Dosa. We were originally planning on heading down Fillmore to check out some jazz clubs when we caught word that Dosa served up some good Indian foods...and let me tell you...IT WAS AMAZING.

We got in with a party of 12 without a reservation, which was incredible for Memorial weekend, and our server was so patient with our group. The dishes were so good - fresh - flavorful - and definitely pleasing to even those that had never before experienced Indian food, I'M CRAVING IT RIGHT NOW! :)

DOSA IS HORRIBLE!. DOSA IS HORRIBLE! The food is totally OVERPRICED and OVERRATED! The staff is not seasoned and experienced, and the restaurant is way too noisy. And whatever you do, DON'T EVER host a dinner party there. They have NO IDEA what they're doing. My dinner party was unbelievably EMBARRASSING! It was SO humiliating to arrange and bring a large group into the restaurant only to have Dosa fail me on every level.

The food was horrible that night (slapped onto big plates with no garnishes and POOR taste), portions were tiny (i.e. not enough food for the # of people), the main chef wasn't there, they had no idea what they were doing, there was NO extra effort made for our huge group, and they forced us to leave our tables before our party was over to accommodate another reservation.

My guests left hungry (couldn't eat the TERRIBLE food but didn't want to embarrass me further by complaining - although they all spoke out the next day and will be posting reviews themselves). I complained that night and the next day, but they still charged over $3K for this dinner (however, this is not over). It was a complete waste of money and a TOTAL DISASTER!!!!!!!!!!

AVOID DOSA! DON'T PAY for BAD food and a horrible experience!

They fed me a bunch of baloney that they'd fix the situation, but they're trying to slime their way out of honoring their promises which is disgraceful.

There are too many other great restaurants in San Francisco and the Bay Area. Dosa doesn't deserve the patronage.

Unique Indian cuisine. I went to Dosa on Valentine's Day. We were able to get a table after about a 20 minutes without a reservation, which was awesome. The bar area is pretty spacious, so we had a cocktail during our wait. The mojito was delish! The food was really yummy and the service was efficient and friendly. We ordered appetizers, dinner and dessert and it was all timed very well. The decor of the restaurant is really gorgeous. I will definitely be going back!

Great Food and Good Ambience. I read the other 3 reviews and found it contrary to my experience. Hence, I am writing this review. I usually dont take the time to write up restaurants but am puzzled as to the complaints about this place.

I have gone here twice and both times the hostesses and manager made my accomodations timely and fairly. It is a very chaotic and busy restaurant and they try to do their best.

I think that if diners want a less social and overcrowded place to eat...this is not the place...I personally like the vibe and energy for a 1st date or any date as it adds to the experience...

The attitude stinks, but the food is good. I will not go to Dosa anymore. The food is good but the attitude of the hostesses and manager is horrendous. Twice I have gone here with a group of women and twice we were given terrible seats and attitude. This most recent occasion, we were told we could have a lounge table and were walking over to our seats when another group sat down before us. The manager, was completely rude and didn't apologize to our group nor did she offer to make amends in any way for her behavior.
